  1. Currently I have one parity drive and I plan on adding a second one. I have some reported uncorrect sectors on two drives and If I add a second parity drive will that data get corrupted or will it read it from the current parity?
  2. Thanks, I couldn't find a deal that good when I looked.
  3. My UnRAID system doesn't have onboard graphics. So I need to buy a super cheap gpu that I can use as my main gpu for the system so I can use a more powerful one on a vm. I looked on eBay but couldn't really find one with hdmi. I was hoping someone on here might have one laying around that they want to get rid of for pretty cheap (around $20) or even better free .
  4. Well I ended up buying the one I linked above and it works fine with the unraid ups settings. I do have nut installed but I am not using it.
  5. hmm when I add a torrent the path is /home/nobody/Downloads Should it be something /data? I haven't done anything different so not sure what changed. Edit: I changed it to /data and its working now. Now sure how it got to /home/nobody/Downloads
  6. My torrents are starting to download to the docker.img now and I haven't changed anything. did something get messed up in the last update?
  7. Haha so basically maybe? Well at least I know its on the list now and it wouldn't be a complete guess.
  8. Specifically the SMART1500LCD https://www.amazon.com/Tripp-Lite-1500VA-Rack-Mount-SMART1500LCD/dp/B000DZRY9C/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1495727214&sr=1-2&keywords=tripp+lite+ups
  9. I am trying to figure out if unraid will support a tripp lite ups.
  10. I can't get the web gui to show up on sync. Any ideas?
  11. Well I finally got around to doing two parity checks, and both disks still report the same amount. so it seems to be stable correct? My concern is that if I leave it how it is now both disks will fail later on down the line and I could loose lots of data. So is it better to replace them now while there are only a couple sectors acting up so that I can minimize the data loss? My other option is to wait until I finish my backup of all of my data which will take around 6 months. Then replace my drives so that I can download any files that get corrupted do to the bad sectors. Do you think the disks will be fine for another 6 months / would you risk it? Edit: That would be 6 months of 24/7 reading/uploading.
  12. Thanks for the info. I will probably run a couple parity checks to see if they get worse or not. The only problem I have with leaving them is that all of my disks will have to spin up to be able to read from any of the bad spots correct? This seems like a lot more wear and tear on my other disks if I could just get them replaced to avoid that. Also as long as I go through the stress testing on the replacement drives they shouldn't they be ok? I haven't had any problems with my 3tb replacement drives I got like 2 years ago. Also I want to add a second parity drive soon so I kind of need all my drives to be good before I do that.
  13. Both showed up in my last parity check at the beginning of this month. The month before I just got don't replacing two 3tb drives that were going bad. one went bad then during the rebuild the other started to go. I had a small amount of data loss but it was all stuff I could replace. That is when I started backing up to the cloud. I guess this is what happens when you buy a few drives at the same time, multiples go bad at the same time.
  14. Sadly they are both the biggest drives in my array, both are 8TB drives and both are 100% full (awesome luck). I am in the process of backing up everything to google drive but my upload speed is maxed out at 10 Mb/s so it will take 40 years to finish. If I replace one of those drives will I lose only the data that it can't read from the other disk? I guess my only other option is to buy a new 8tb drive to copy all the data to, then get a replacement for that drive and copy all the data from the other bad drive to the new replacement? I would like to not have to pay $250 for a drive I don't really need at the moment.
  15. One has 7 the other 8. No reallocated sectors. Both are under warranty still and I was wondering if they would replace the drives with this error. From what I have read this error doesn't mean it's bad but they will likely go bad soon? Oh also they are seagate drives. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. If you know how to use the command line it should delete if you ssh into your server. I know this doesn't help your problem really but its a fix.
  17. I am going to back up my data to google drive and have decided to use rclone. My problem is I have two drives that are going bad and I have lost a few files that I have already replaced (don't have the money to replace both disks right now). So I want an option that will back up to the cloud but not sync a file if it gets corrupted. Any ideas on the best way to do this?
  18. This project is now depreciated in lieu of a better build. Details will be coming when its finished. So some big new updates to my build! I added a second case to my server, upgraded the hardware and added water cooling!! Hardware: MB: AsRock x99 extreme 3 CPU: Xeon E5-2683 v3 (14 cores) PSU: FSP Group 700W 1U 80 Plus Platinum RAM: 12GB ECC Parity: 1x8TB Data: 2x8TB 7x3TB Cache: 1x256GB SSD UA Disk: 500GB used for downloads and VMs If you don't want to go look through my first post, I basically gutted an Apple Xserve RAID and put in my micro atx board in there with all the hard drives and power supply. Basically just add a motherboard in the space on the right and a bunch of cables and a ssd laying in there somewhere! But this is what the Xserve RAID looks like now. I removed the motherboard added a fan and the two cards there on the back. I bought a Xserve 1U case and gutted that to fit my new motherboard and all other components other than the data hard drives which stay in the case pictured above. It was quite a tight fit with everything in there, and had to use a couple pcie extension cables. I tried to use air cooling at first but just got too hot so the only logical option was to water cool it!! I am using the EK-Annihilator for my cpu block, and it works great! Highest temp I've seen while running at 100% is 50˚C. Oh also I am using a 240mm radiator. To make the GPU work I had to use a x16 pcie to x1 pcie extesion card with a x1 extension cable that you can see running towards the upper left with what looks like a usb cable on the end. That runs to the x16 pcie to x1 pcie extesion card that is right under the GPU pcie connector. In the top left of the case you can see the 3xSFF-8088 to SFF-8087 card that connects the 8 drives from the other case to my expansion card (can't remember witch one but most people use it). For cooling I have the GPU which is a blower style and a pci blower style fan under the SFF-8088 card. So far I haven't had any cooling problems in the 1U case, or the 3U Xserve RAID case. And finally here it is all closed up sitting on top of the Xserve RAID case. Now the next step is to get a rack so I can mount these two cases in it along with a UPS. Also when I need more space for disks I want to make some custom disk caddies for the disk 6-14 so it will hold two disks, one in front and one behind it. For anyone who doesn't know what an Xserve looks like here it is with my disk layout.
  19. Best way add custom dashboard to /usr/share/netdata/web? Is there a way to transfer the file over ssh?
  20. Just figured out why I wasn't seeing any signatures. You have to go into account settings and set it to show other peoples signatures. Would be nice if we could have this default to on.
  21. I guess I will just keep using it without the gpu. I was hoping to use it as a guest gaming pc for when people come over but oh well. I have a 14 core xeon so no alternatives with onboard graphics sadly. Hopefully one day I will upgrade to a supermicro server board with built in graphics and this should solve my problems. Also thanks for the info about the video. I'll have to look into that!
  22. To start I have a xeon so no onboard graphics and I went through some hassle figuring out that my new hardware wouldn't boot without a GPU installed in the server. When trying to start my VM after passing through my GPU the UnRAID GUI becomes unresponsive and stays that way until I restart the server. The Dockers all still work but the VM never starts (don't see anything over HDMI or the network). My best guess is that this has to do with my first problem where the server wouldn't start without a GPU. Anyone know if this is the most likely cause? Also adding a second GPU isn't an option, no space in my 1U case.
